Circus reopening in Ukraine with tigers, parrots and horses

 

The latest news from Ukraine is that the National Circus building in Kyiv will be reopening from 2 July with a production called Save the Animals of the Circus.

The show is expected to feature mainly animal acts including tigers, parrots, dogs and horses that have been sheltering in the circus since the war began. The performances will help keep the animals in condition and raise funds to maintain their upkeep.

The trainers will also be talking about their work and answering questions from the audience.

Even in war, it seems, the circus always goes on.
